Hello, I have a couple of the budget Bachman RS3 units that are DCC only. Any good / better / best way to add sound to the stock DCC in these things? I have not openend them up yet to see what they have inside...
Carey, the sound equipped engines have the speaker in the fuel tank.When you get the loco open, I would measure the current circuit board that's in it. Then I would go to one of the sound decoder sites, and compare the sizes of their boards to the one that came out of the loco. The one than is closest in size to the original board, without being bigger than that board, should fit with no problems. But I believe that your hardest problem with adding sound to this loco, is finding a place for a speaker.
